‘The Town of Light’ is Coming to Xbox One
Developer LKA is bringing their psychological thriller The Town of Light to the Xbox One sometime after its PC release next week. Set in Italy in 1938, this is a decidedly different kind of horror game, as it gives players a raw look at “mental illness and how mental institutions used to operate back in the 1940s through the eyes of one patient, Renée.”
At the center of its story is 16 year-old Renée, who’s been forcefully committed to the Volterra Psychiatric Asylum — a virtual recreation of a real asylum — which will be fully explorable so you can seek out its “secrets that will unveil a non-linear story based on your choices” so you can save Renée before she succumbs to the medieval treatments those institutions once employed.
LKA isn’t ready to give us an ETA on its Xbox One release, but it will arrive this year.
The Town of Light hits PC on Feb 26, capping off another great month for horror games.
Are you watching? Ishana Night Shyamalan has clearly been paying attention to her father, M. Night Shyamalan. Not only is she following in his footsteps as a filmmaker, but she’s also embracing a similar mystique surrounding her work.
The new trailer for her feature directorial debut, The Watchers, gives viewers a taste of what’s in store. AreYouWatching.com has launched with even more clues.
Visit the site to join the mysterious creatures that lurk in the Irish forest as you observe a shelter. From the time the sun sets at 7:30 PM until it rises at 5:55 AM, four strangers — played by Dakota Fanning, Georgina Campbell, Oliver Finnegan, and Olwen Fouere — can be seen trapped inside.
You’ll find several interactive items. Click on the gramophone to set the mood with some spooky music. Tap on the birdcage to hear an ominous message from the parrot inside: “I’m going out, try not to die.” Press on the TV to watch clips from a fake reality show called Lair of Love. And if you tap on the window during the daytime … they’ll tap back.
There are also Easter eggs hidden at specific times. We’ve discovered three: a disorienting shot of Fanning’s character’s car at 5:52 PM, a closer view of the captives at 11:11 PM, and a glimpse of monitors at 12:46 AM. Let us know if you find any more in the comments…
The Watchers opens in theaters on June 14 via New Line Cinema. Ishana Night Shyamalan writes and directs, based on the 2022 novel of the same name by A.M. Shine. M. Night Shyamalan produces.
